This CD was recorded in Terrans'home for a very small intimate audience. The mood and power of this record is really something extraordinary. Included are tracks from her prior records, "Cruel" and "The Musician" in addition to some very amazing renditions of cover songs including Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" (made famous by Jeff Buckley). ******************************************************** A little about Jen: Jennifer Terran is an outstanding musician, vocalist, pianist, songwriter, entrepreneur and too many other things to mention. With her independent record label, Grizelda Records, she has put out five phenomenal solo records since 1997: "CRUEL", "RABBIT", "THE MUSICIAN", "LIVE FROM PAINTED CAVE" and her latest wonder, "FULL MOON IN 3". Terran has been blowing away critics and listeners alike for years with music that makes you really think and feel. It's just beautiful, intense, pure, real, inspiring stuff that's a little difficult to explain away by the usual descriptors. Many people upon hearing Jennifer's music and her unbelievably beautiful voice are reduced to tears, though Jen has a definite sense of humor that can make you laugh you're ass off. Anyway, you're going to love this woman's music! She is simply in a category of her own. And all we can say is that if you're reading this, be glad! Jennifer's a rare, rare talent. You won't be finding her music to be out of date or sounding stupid in ten years, because the musicianship and songwriting is outstanding and because she's putting to light aspects of life that are essential to who we are. She's a master of beauty and intensity and has an amazing ability to deeply move people in a most intimate soulful way. WHAT CRITICS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT JENNIFER TERRAN: (for more reviews or complete articles go to her web site) "Endowed with a voice or heartbreaking purity and with a melodic talent, Jennifer Terran will most likely rise rapidly to the level of the greats." TELARAMA (Paris, France) "All of you wondering whether Kate Bush is going to release another album or it Tori Amos will ever make another record as good as her debut can stop bothering with such side issues. Here's the album you've been waiting for. Astonishing!" 2nd BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR THE TIMES (London, UK) "Breathtaking... timeless... pure... monumental.... Categorizing Jennifer Terran is impossible. Terran is a style of her own." OOR MAGAZINE - (Netherlands) "Haunting and intense, she sounds like a rawer version of Tori Amos. But Terran possesses a uniquely fierce and uncommon uncompromising voice" UNCUT - (London, UK) Top 10 CDs: "Terran is a breathtaking singer. Her vocal innuendos are pure, free of the mannerism of a lot of contemporary female colleagues." FOCUS - (Belgium) FOUR STARS! ROLLING STONE - (Germany) "Jennifer Terran is an unusual, very unusual kind of artist and quite a woman! A truly magnificent Film Noire Diva and a world-class songwriter-singer. This woman is unique, captivating vocalist, pianist, tenderly rebellious songwriter, producer by raison d'etre and necessity, hip-hop dynamic instructor and dancer, story-teller, an existentialist philosopher, an emotionally and intellectually charged teaser and provocative presence and most certainly a daring-devil entrepreneur." HERALD TIMES PARADE - (London, UK) "Not everybody can be both scary and vulnerable; Jennifer Terran (pronounced tearin') can. The scary part is her voice, which spirals into regions so high you fear she'll disappear or crash, and lately it has acquired a diamond-dust edge that can saw through a stack of hearts, first of all her own." LA WEEKLY - (USA) "If Jennifer Terran has a voice as much incomparable as unforgettable, it is because she is also that in real life. Her authentic and sensual voice awakes up in us emotions so deep inside that thinking of it makes nearly crying of pain or joy, as if truth had a price." MURMURES - (Switzerland) The Musician: #1 BEST ALBUM OF 2002 "Terran is an extraordinary USA singer/songwriter and THE MUSICIAN places her firmly in the top echelon of her craft. This is remarkable pop music, and one of 2002's few essential albums" SHAKENSTIR - (UK) "At some point Tori Amos had that same gift, but in the meantime she has become a phenomena... Let's hope that Jennifer Terran will never become world famous." PLATOMANIA - (Netherlands) #1Best Album of the Year: "I'd gladly trade in all my Tori Amos CDs for Jennifer Terrans' "THE MUSICIAN" HEAVEN MAGAZINE - (The Netherlands) "Pure, that was this concert in one word. No setlist, no décor, only a small lady, with a voice like a storm behind the piano" STORYVILLE MAGAZINE - (Netherlands) "The music of Jennifer Terran is so beautiful it hurts."
